Summary

This study will compare two incision designs to allow for coronal gingival/mucosal flap advancement and tissue augmentation with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) graft around teeth with gingival recession and a lack of adequate keratinized gingiva.

To the investigators knowledge, these two techniques have not been compared for differences in clinical (amount of root coverage, tissue thickness, and esthetics) and patient-centered outcomes (pain, swelling, change in daily activities) in a controlled study.

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

PROCEDURE

VISTA

Vestibular incision supraperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) incision will be performed on all individuals in this arm of the study to facilitate coronal advancement of the gingival flap and placement of acellular dermal matrix

PROCEDURE

STA

Sulcular tunnel access incision will be performed on all individuals in this arm of the study to facilitate coronal advancement of the gingival flap and placement of acellular dermal matrix
